The Woolsey Fire’s toll on homes and buildings ticked up Saturday evening as 1,008 structures were classified as destroyed, with crews still tallying damage.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump came to Ventura County to get a firsthand look at damage from the blaze. After he looked at damage from the Camp Fire in Northern California, Air Force One brought him to Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu, and from there his motorcade left for the local tour.

The latest number of destroyed structures represented a day-over-day increase of more than 200 structures as teams continued to investigate the aftermath of the wildfire’s rampage through Ventura and Los Angeles counties. Fire officials said 80 percent of the burn assessment had been completed.

In addition, 271 structures had been damaged by the Woolsey Fire, which broke out in Ventura County, southeast of Simi Valley, on the afternoon of Nov. 8. The blaze, which was 84 percent contained as of 7 p.m. Saturday, has chewed through about 98,362 acres, or more than 153 square miles, according to Cal Fire, the state fire agency. Three civilians have died in the fire.

As the damage count rises, it is getting closer to that wrought by last year’s Thomas Fire, which destroyed 1,063 structures in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. A large portion of those were homes in the city of Ventura. The Thomas Fire ranks as the California’s ninth-most destructive wildfire on record in terms of structures destroyed, according to Cal Fire.

The Woolsey Fire’s latest tally should move it into the No. 10 spot on that list, replacing the 2003 Old fire in San Bernardino County, which destroyed 1,003 structures.

The fire has fed on dry brush, fueled by gusty Santa Ana winds, as it burned in and around cities from Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks to the coast, impacting Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Calabasas and Malibu. Its path included steep canyons and remote, rugged terrain that made access difficult.

With the containment line mostly in place and the active fire having subsided, efforts are now focused on keeping the blaze tamped down.

"Firefighters are still working hot spots in the hillsides,” said Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Branden Silverman Saturday morning. “It’s going to be some time before we can say every bit of hot embers are put out.”

Winds had died down Saturday and humidity levels had increased, which helped firefighters gain the upper hand, Silverman said. But if winds kick up, embers could still jump containment lines, he said. Many of the hot spots are in rugged terrain near the coast around Malibu and in Ventura County, he said.

At the temporary fire camp and command post set up at the Camarillo Airport, some crews could be seen filling out demobilization paperwork before heading home Saturday morning. Some 2,842 personnel were still assigned to the incident Saturday.

In Northern California, the Camp Fire’s devastation continued to rise, with 76 civilian fatalities confirmed and more than 1,000 people unaccounted for, fire officials said. The fire has destroyed large portions of the community of Paradise, in Butte County northeast of Sacramento, and burned 149,000 acres since starting Nov. 8. The Camp Fire has destroyed more than 9,700 single-family homes and more than 2,400 other structures, according to the latest official tally Saturday night.

The Hill Fire, which also erupted in Ventura County on the afternoon of Nov. 8 — less than half an hour before the Woolsey Fire sparked — was fully contained this week at 4,531 acres. It destroyed four structures and damaged two.
